Background
and Objective:Studiesindicatedthatphysical activityinfluences sleep
qualityandinflammatory markers,
but not havebeen studiedmuchthe relationship betweensleep quality and inflammatory markers caused
by physical activity. The aimof
the present study was to investigate the relationship between sleepquality with interleukin-1β andC - reactive proteinin
active and non-active men.

Material and Methods:The present study is cross-sectional. Twenty-two healthy males aged 32-38 years
participated voluntarily in this study, and were divided into two non-active
(n=11) and active (n=11) groups. The non-active group were without sports history
and the active group had more than twoyears of moderate-intensityaerobicexercise history (moderate aerobic training 45 minutes/day, 3days/week). Fasting blood samples were taken from all subjects.SerumC-reactive protein and interleukin-1betawas measuredbyELISA method and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index Questionnaire
(PSQI) was used to evaluate sleep quality.The research data were analyzed using the independent t test, Pearson’s
correlation coefficientand Multiple
Linear Regression.

Results: IL-1β (p=0.015) and CRP (p=0.043) concentrations under the effect ofphysical activity in the active group compared to the
non-active group showed a significant decrease. The Sleep Quality Index score
was significantly lower in the active group compared to non-active group (p=0.021). A Significant relationship was observed between sleep
quality score, IL-1β (r=0. 571, p=0. 033) and CRP (r=0. 613, p=0. 012) concentrations in active men.
